4. Don't know what you got until it's gone
5. I'll be there for you

Hey! I like 3/5s of those songs.

What about Love Bites? Or is Def Leppard not a metal band? (I get confused on the musical semantics.)

Love Bites could have been in there, but I decided to recognize other bands as well. Def Leppard could have it's own list.

And they are a hair band.

Which 5 do you like?

Which 3 do you like?

So is "hair band" like a subset of "metal band"? Or is it an equivalence? I'm so confused. Can someone draw a Venn diagram for me?

To answer your question, I've never heard #s 2 and 3.

#s 2 and 3 are Def Leppard songs.

Ok - a hair band is a band that is more style than substance; more makeup than manliness; more about the money than the music. Examples: Def Leppard, Poison, Night Ranger, etc. Hair bands are like a subset of metal bands - "glam metal" as it were.

A metal band is more about being loud and fast. Their "music" is centered around drums and lots of loud fast guitars. But metal (called heavy metal in my day) has been around a lot longer. Alice Cooper, KISS, Ozzy, etc. are considered heavy metal. Metalicca would be considered a metal band.

Def Leppard does not meet your criteria. They didn't have the hair. They didn't have the make-up or the fashion (unless you call that British Flag shirt fashion). There was nothing Glam about the Lep. To even mention them in the same sentence as Poison is sacrilege.

Ok, I'll take that band out of the hair band group and put it in it's own category:

"Bands that are a crime against humanity."

How's that?

1983's "Pyromania" was one of the most solid rock albums of the 1980's. It is still listenable today.

Plus they had that whole one-armed drummer going for them in the later years. You'll stay semi-popular based on the ADA alone.

I see we'll have to agree to disagree, as I've never heard a song by this band that I liked.

Any song by Ratt

I'd also like to second the nomination of Turbo Lover by Judas Priest
